NY Times on NK Human Rights Act

James Brooke has written the first worthwhile analysis of the NKHRA in a major U.S. newspaper. The context is interesting, too–the first North Korean has entered the U.S. consulate in Vladivostok. The North Koreans rented out to Russia had been a nice little source of income for Kim Jong Il, even serving as a useful cover for North Korean heroin dealing. Today, those workers even dare to tell foreign reporters how much they despise their own government. Now that regime control over its workers in lovely Vladivostok seems to be slipping toward anarchy, look for North Korea to reduce their numbers.
